Your Dream Concert

If you could attend a concert with no chance it would affect your tinnitus who would you see? I daydream about this all the time, I think my number one pick would be either Mumford and Sons or U2.

 

Mastodon with Kvelertak, which I did have tickets to (bought pre-T).
Powerwolf.

 

Fear Factory! So sad that tinnitus ruined my chances to ever see them

 

Bob Weir.

 

You just want to see bobby in his short shorts!

 

I would want to see the Grateful Dead in concert with Jerry Garcia with their 70-80s style music but with their entire song catalogue.....

I know that would be asking a lot, but it would be my dream concert! Sadly even with tinnitus cured it will never happen.

 

That I do.

 

If I believed in heaven, this is what it would look like (but with more rabbits.)

 

Nirvana Unplugged or Portishead NYC Roseland show. Never got around to seeing either.

Interesting tid bit about dream shows, another band that influenced me greatly was called Refused. Sadly they broke up the year I discovered them back in 98'. I dreamed of seeing them. For years there was zero talk of reuniting. Members joined other bands like Noise Conspiracy. their last album was title "Refused is fucking dead". It was over over over. But for some mystical unknown reason, they decided to play a festival one time in 2012 and their loyal fans, old and new, showed up and their popularity was greater than it was back in the 90's. Their music was so ahead of its time, it still attracted new fans and didn't sound dated. After that they decided to tour the US and I finally, FINALLY, got to to see this kick ass band from Sweden in Hollywood and holy shit they still got it. I thought they would be out of it because if you ever listen to their music, its hardcore, screaming, intense energy. It's the kinda performance you gotta be in shape for. This was the last show I ever saw before my tinnitus spiraled out of control and this scenario is darn close to seeing a dream concert that I'd never thought would be possible. Literally waited 14 years to see. A major highlight to my concert going days.

 

"They say that classics never die... but they do. They do."

 

Bone Thugs n Harmony!

 

Imagine Dragons.

 

"Somehow, baby? I never thought that... we do too."

YASSSS!!!

 

Why see a dream concert when you can see Dream Theater?

 

Already have. Seen Primus 6 times.

 

Primus sucks

 

They were so great. I hope one day I can see them again... moshing on shrooms was so great

 

First, we need a time machine.

1990-grade Skinny Puppy (with DR Goettel still alive) play a quick but brutal 5-song opener for 1992-era Nine Inch Nails, who come out mad as hell at their label, play an obscene and rapid 30 minute set, then cede the stage to 2010-era Metro Station to play "Seventeen Forever", their one good song. Then Aesop Rock & John Darnielle come up together and perform the stuff they wrote together.

Finally, the 1977 Clash, with freshly opened eyes from their trips to Jamacia to explore reggae, take the stage and play London Calling end to end, with an encore that includes most of Super Black Market Clash.

The sound technician is crafty and rapid, the crowd is polite, and viewed from the center of the venue, average volumes are in the 79-87db range with occaisional spikes no higher than 95.

 

Metallica!

 

Well folks - I am bound to show my age, but also my impeccable taste here, by nominating any concert by Louis Armstrong - the greatest intuitively natural musician who ever drew breath.
(Unfortunately, of course, it is such an obvious choice, as not to be a matter of opinion.)

 

Not only a truly fantastic musician, but a great human being - he stood up to President Eisenhower for the Arkansas nine school children forbidden to attend an all white school in Little Rock, saying “the government can go to hell !!”
Louis Armstrong was a Giant. (1957.)

 

I would love to see Tom Waits and Mark Lanegan.

 

I am an extreme Tenacious D & Jack Black fan and waited like forever before they finally had their concert in the Netherlands. It was quite a steamy concert with a mush pit situation going on behind me & an annoying group of 30+ old bruhs in front of me who smoked weed (where else but in the Netherlands) and pushed people to the side with their out of step dances . Still a super good concert with great songs though, like Tribute, Master exploder & The metal. Got home safely, but boy, I didn't know back then that exactly a month later I would have a tinnitus worsening.

The song: Beelzeboss
